Today we'd like to introduce our first international case study featuring Germany's TUEV NORD Group a worldwide certification and testing company. When M and I visited Munich earlier this year, we hosted a press roundtable with Frank Boerger of TUEV NORD and Solution Provider Hanno Tietgens of BÜRO X Media Lab. Frank and Hanno talked about how TUEV NORD has used Second Life as a meeting venue, a training platform and even a recruiting tool.

From the summary:
Since 1869, when the company was founded in Germany to inspect boilers, TUEV NORD Group's unwavering mission has been to "make the world safer." Today, TUEV NORD Group has over 8,500 employees in more than 70 countries and a broad international client base for its unique consulting, service and inspection portfolio and management of complex safety solutions. The company's 3D presence can be found in Second Life by the region name of "TUEV Nord". Since 2007, the region has been used for recruiting, meetings, game based education and other new ways to share knowledge. An ambitious long-distance training project produced a complete return on investment within a year. Now the company is ready to share the benefits of its extensive virtual development with clients.
The TUEV NORD case study is not only a demonstration of the range of benefits that companies around the world are achieving today in Second Life, but also a great example of the incredible value that the global community of talented Solution Providers offer to organizations.
